Brady Quinn needs to hold off Tim Tebow to stay No. 2

Q: Is former first-round draft pick Brady Quinn still in the mix at quarterback for the Broncos? With all the Tim Tebow buzz, it appears Brady has been forgotten.

A: In terms of the public eye, Quinn has been cloaked between Kyle Orton's performance in training camp as the team's No. 1 quarterback and Tebow's immense popularity at the No. 3 slot.

It just may be the Broncos' version of witness protection.

Quinn has gone about his business in relative peace and quiet. Coach Josh McDaniels gave plenty of thought to acquiring the former Notre Dame star last season before officially trading for him this year.
